1. 6:05 Use a limited set of 2 to 4 shading directions 2. 8:15 Practice on simple 3D geometric forms 3. 14:07 Use the same technique on simple 3D shapes 4. 16:33 Applay it to shade more elaborate ink drawing

Alphonso, your choices of language and structure throughout videos are S-TIER amongst the tutorial world. Great stuff.

@BrandonCase Жыл бұрын

It would’ve been an interesting aid/demonstration for you to have a sheet of paper as the two dimensional front-facing object, add a shade gradient in vertical and horizontal lines, and then bend the paper itself into a tube and show it from different angles so we could see the line orientation change.

Nice idea

@DavidAndNancySanker 2 жыл бұрын

I loved the way you demonstrated shading by putting a piece of tracing paper over a more complex drawing. That was very helpful. Sometimes it's easy to grasp a concept on a simple form but get a little lost when trying to apply it to a more challenging subject matter.

I just finished a pen & ink assignment at school. I wish I would have had your video to help guide me. My lines were all over the place 😂. But, it sparked my interest in continuing to use this medium and style and to practice more on my own. My birthday is coming up this month and I am putting your books on my list as must haves. Your art is beautiful!! Thank you for your tutorials.

Tracing over your completed hands really helped lock this down for me. It very starkly contrasted the "keep it simple" concept. Thank you!

@EvilMP5 2 жыл бұрын

I am glad you made this video because I learned something new the other day that confused me even more contour hatching which I noticed those types of lines were in your book. Doing hair in ink still boggles my mind, especially really detailed dog hair.

This video is wonderful, Alphonso! Well done! I recently bought a glass dip pen - it can only do hatching or stippling (unless a brush is used.. but I really only wanted to use the pen alone) - and this is just what I needed! Thank-you so much for this video!! :)
